Deck belt installation
NOTE: For ease in installing the deck belt,
refer to the routing decal on bottom of seat.
• Wrap the deck belt around the electric
clutch pulley that is located on the engine
shaft.
• Route the belt forward between the EZT
(E-Series Zeroturn Transaxles) and up
onto the deck.
• Place belt around spring loaded idler
pulley, between the pulley and guide.
Secure bolt and nut.
• Starting on the right hand side of the
deck, wrap the belt around the stationary
idler pulley, the right mandrel housing,
then around to the left mandrel housing.
• Push inward on the idler arm and
carefully route belt over stationary idler
pulley. Once belt is properly routed,
slowly release idler arm to tension belt.
• Double check belt routing to make sure it
matches the routing decal, and the belt
does not have any twist. Correct as
needed.
• Replace belt shields on both mandrel
housings and secure with fasteners.
